“the paths are many, the sport is one”
Yoga asana competitions have Indian roots in ancient and modern exhibitions of physical and mental strength, flexibility, and self-mastery. Today, yoga sport federations around the world conduct championships to inspire yoga practice. USA Yoga sponsors annual regional and national asana championships.
